New Territories North-east was a geographical constituency in the election for the Legislative Council of Hong Kong in 1995, which elects one member of the Legislative Council using the first-past-the-post voting system. The constituency covers most of the Tsuen Wan District (except south-eastern part) and the south-eastern part of Tuen Mun District in New Territories.[1]

The constituency was merged into the New Territories West constituency in 1998 after the handover of Hong Kong a year before.[2]
